Tuuli aiming to enjoy season finale

The 2018 season Finale will see PETRONAS Sprinta Racing rider Niki Tuuli, make his final Moto2 race with the team this weekend.

The friendly Finnish rider who joined the team in Le Mans, has shown consistent progress on board his Kalex Moto2 machine, reducing the gap to the top throughout his debut season.

With one last race ahead, Tuuli is eager to bid farewell on high and secure his best result of the year.

#66 Niki Tuuli
“I know a little bit about Valencia but for sure I will need to focus on learning the track during FP1. After that I need to improve my riding during every practice – the main aim will be to do as many laps as possible and just try to find a good feeling on the bike. I want to do my best for this last race because I think this will be my last race in the World Championship. I want to make a really good result for the team and myself. I hope that we can end the season with a smile.”

The SIC Racing Team project took its first steps in 2010 with the support of the Sepang International Circuit, a track that has been part of the MotoGP World Championship calendar since 1999. The structure was created with the aim of promoting young Malaysian riders and giving them a platform to develop their full potential. The SIC Racing Team has since had a presence in various championships such as the FIM CEV and the MotoGP World Championship (in the 125cc and Moto3 classes), with three podium finishes in Moto3 between 2015 and 2016 as results of particular note.

The Malaysian structure took another step forward with a move up to the Moto2 World Championship in the 2018 season. The SIC Racing Team structure will expand in 2019, this time joining the MotoGP World Championship as a Yamaha satellite team and giving Malaysia a team in the premier class for the first time in history.
